So, I played through a good chunk of the campaign today. Jesus Tapdancing CHRIST, it is intense. I'm loving KZ2's campaign for the same reason I loved CoD4's campaign: Nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat, balls-to-the-wall intensity.
Oh and ffs, to all the people complaining about "only a 9": SERIOUSLY?! It's a 9/10! Think about it this way: The GamesRadar review system only uses whole numbers, i.e 4,5,7, etc. Thus, a 9/10 is merely one point below the best score they could give.
Less QQ, more pew pew. The game is wicked so far, and I can't wait to jump into the multiplayer.

All FPS's need INNOCENT BYSTANDERS!!!

Why can't I waste Helghast citizenry right along with the Helghast?

KZ2 should not be compared to GoW2.

KZ2= First Person Shooter
GoW2= Third person Shooter

So why compare them.....hmmmm......a little bias maybe????????

Yes Gears is good (played the first and enjoyed it), the second however....more of the same imo.

The comments still flowing? Hrmm, Gamesradar, you've made a mistake. You reviewed a game, and now people question you.

Honestly, it's funny. Halo > Killzone just makes me giddy inside.

And people who say Gaylo has no soul or fucking common since and should go grab a helmet for their own good.

Now if I can go, I'll be playing a game that still has 300,000 players even after 1 1/2 years.

I played this game at a friend's house and it was pretty cool. I like how the multiplayer isn't just a deathmatch or capture the flag, but how it combines the 2 and creates a more war-like feeling that is much more immersive than COD offers. the only thing that screws me up is aiming, it might just be me, but i'm not used to activating the scope with R3, but that's probably just me. Otherwise it's a pretty sweet game, I'd give it a 10/10

bias bias bias, seriously if you guys want to read good reviews go to kotaku.com, no number scores because seriously thats archaic now. It just gives the pros and cons of the game to see if you like/dislike the same things. gamesradar is good for comedy articles but your reviews are usually ass. The cons are subjective to the max, rather than giving actual faults you make shit up.

Oh...and for the 1 hit knife kill B@ll@cks and the 'its to easy' try playing it on Veteran and then Elite you pussies......it takes more like 3 stabs to kill them then!

Is I only one that noticed that this game got 9. Gears of War 2 also got 9. Big whup. Both great games.

I've lost faith in gamesradar for reviews.I love the site, love the features but(forgive me for saying it)they seem very xbox centric, they tend always to lean in that direction and sometimes it gets annoying. Before people start calling me a fanboy ill make it clear that i LOVE both consoles and if either one was discontinued tommorow id be heart broken. But that said to give anything favor just because it is your personal preference is just sad. The scores tend to be very off too, GTA4 got a 10 even though having major flaws and better more inovative games like saints row 2 get marked down drematically for no apparent reason. You cant really compare gears of war 2 with killzone on any level other than how much fun you personaly had playing through them as games and if the person who wrote this review thinks GeOW2 is better then he or she is entiteld to express that but they have to understand that 360fanboys are going to try to take your word as gospel and profess that it is better just because you say so.

YEAAA Go GoW 2 And im more than happy with the fact that you said that Halo 3 Is infinetly fun, if people are still playing halo 1 right now, imagine for how long Halo 3 will be played
